Claudia Sheinbaum’s dispassionate style on the campaign trail was once seen as such a political weakness that her opponent in last year’s Mexican presidential election branded her “The Ice Queen.”

Unlike Canada’s Trudeau, Sheinbaum has been more diplomatic while insisting on protecting Mexican interests. Here’s why.

Donald Trump and Justin Trudeau's clear tensions are a stark contrast to the Mexican leader's approach to the White House.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said the U.S. should do more to address the opioid crisis in its territory, after President Trump slapped 25% tariffs on Mexican goods on the grounds that her government isn’t doing enough to halt fentanyl smuggling.

Mexico's president took a victory lap Thursday, telling the media of her call to Donald Trump just before U.S. tariffs on Mexico were paused.

"Reciprocal tariffs will still go into effect on April 2. But at the request of the companies associated with USMCA, the president is giving them an exemption for one month, so they are not at an economic disadvantage," she added, referencing the North American free trade agreement Trump renegotiated in his first term.

Following a discussion with Mexico President Claudia Sheinbaum, Trump agrees to exempt Mexican goods from tariffs. Some tariffs on Canadian goods also were delayed.
